These unique carrots are a perfect example of what we mean when we say we’re growing vegetables slowly and gently in full accord with nature. Their unconventional shape is the result of extreme low temperatures, which cause them, like us, to hunker down for the cold season, hoarding as much energy as possible to stay warm. A trim summer carrot grows long and lean as its roots run deeper and deeper into the soil. But Winter Carrots hang out closer to the surface. They grow thicker from stem to tip, with extra girth that makes them robust enough to survive the bitter cold. Their stunning insides pack the real visual impact, exploding with vibrant color rings as brilliant as starbursts. They are perfect for applications like coins or ribbons. As for flavor and texture, all of that conserved energy results in carrots with exceptionally sweet, bright flavor and a delightfully snappy, crisp crunch.
